Special Teams: The "third half" of Relevance


MHS831

Recommended Posts

Lets not forget the "third half": Special teams.

 

Gano:  I have heard stories of how impossible it is to kick at the Stick.  A 53-yarder after the first miss of the season.  Let's not underestimate what a good kicker we have.

 

Ginn:  Ginn had several good returns.  It was a field position game.

 

Nortman:  A few boomers and one downed on the one yard line.  That was huge.

 

The KO team:  What idiot would consider returning a kick?  I think Gano kicked one high to the right side to entice the Niners to return it.  I think the offense started on the 11.

 

Jordan Senn:  Blocked (partially) a punt.  Unfortunately, we have problems with short punts hitting our players.

 

That was one hell of a special teams performance.

    • Got to give some credit to the coaching staff on these. You can grab top talents but without good coaching, they just fizzle out. We've seen that a lot around here.  
    • Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?
    • Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
